+There are times when you want art that challenges you, or shows you
+new perspectives, or enriches your existence. And there are times when
+you just want to stick to the comfortable and familiar.
+
+HaNaYaMaTa is perfect for me when I'm in the latter mood. Young,
+not-special high school girl reluctantly joins a club, finds joy and
+friendship, hurdles are cleared with hard work and dedication, happy
+ending. We've all seen a few series like that: K-On!, Sound!
+Euphonium, Girls und Panzer. Each has its own quirks, but the basic
+formula is recognisable, and effective. And sometimes it's exactly
+what one needs.
+
+Naru is this serie's totally average protagonist: she has friends that
+she admires, but just knows that she's never going to be as sparkling
+as them. Until one day she meets the extremely extroverted and
+energetic Hana, recently relocated from the US, who's passionate about
+the style of dance called yosakoi.
+
+From that encounter, a school club is formed, more schoolgirls join, a
+teacher is recruited to help, shows are danced. Our girls battle
+insecurities, family drama, and plain bad luck, with their strong
+belief in, and commitment to, each other. We have the traditional "hot
+springs" episode, and some scenes in swimsuits, just to underscore
+that the whole structure is really not the most original. But the
+girls are cute, the relationships feel right, and what if the
+animation is a bit cheap and the soundtrack is just three songs? This
+is the kind of show you watch when you want to believe in people and
+the possibility of a loving world, and it's very good for that.
